A toasts list for the Banquet to the Australian Cricketers 23rd July 1878, at Willis's Room, King Street, St James's, London During their first tour of England in 1878, the Australians established their reputation for all time by a nine wicket victory inside five hours in a sensational match against the MCC at Lord's on 27th May. A strong MCC team, led by W. G. Grace himself, was bowled out for 33 (Spofforth 6-4, including a hat trick) and though they in turn dismissed the Aussies for 41 (Shaw 5-10, Morley 5-31). MCC in their second innings were out for just 19 (Boyle 5-3, Spofforth 5-16). The Australians needed 12 to win, which was a substantial total in the conditions, but they lost only their star batsman Charles Bannerman in getting them. Spofforth's match analysis was 14.3 overs, five maidens, 20 runs, 11 wickets. This match inspired Punch magazine to publish the following verse: The Australians came down like a wolf on the fold, The Marylebone cracks for a trifle were bowled; Our Grace before dinner was very soon done, And Grace after dinner did not get a run.

These events may be seen on YouTube, including the vendor gratefully relieving him of the helmet on sale here, to which James later gladly agreed to add his signature.

A group of boxing equipment formerly in the famous gym on the first floor of the Thomas A'Becket Pub in London's Old Kent Road, comprising a red Title punch bag, signed by Sir Henry Cooper, and a red Title speed ball; & two skipping ropes The first floor of the Thomas A Becket in Old Kent Road has a place in boxing legend as the location of the gym used by Sir Henry Cooper. Sir Henry, the former British, European and Commonwealth heavyweight champion, trained at the premises six days a week for 14 years from 1956. The building carries a blue plaque commemorating the link to Sir Henry, who died in 2011 aged 76. Known for the power of his left hook - dubbed 'Enry's 'Ammer - he twice fought Ali. During the first fight in 1963 he knocked the American over, but lost after suffering a severe cut over his eye. US boxing greats Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier and Sugar Ray Leonard sparred there when they were preparing for bouts in Britain and would have used some of this equipment, The Bermondsey venue also played a role in Britain's musical heritage: its second floor was used as a rehearsal space for David Bowie's seminal 1972 album The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars. The building was erected in 1898 but had its pub license evoked by Southwark council in March after a ''serious assault'' in 2015. The contents of the historic gym were then stripped out.

The boxing gloves worn by Muhammad Ali in the World Heavyweight Championship bout v Joe Bugner in Kuala Lumpur 30th June 1975, a pair of red Winning S.S FP-800, Tokyo, 10oz. boxing gloves with original lacing, the right-hand glove signed to the inside wrist by Muhammad Ali in ink, and to the outside of the glove in ink by Joe Bugner and inscribed K.L., 1.7.75 [the day after the fight], the left-hand glove signed to the outside by Muhammad Ali, dated 75 and further inscribed in the hand of Ali; sold with a signed letter of provenance from the present vendor (2) Provenance: Originally in the private collection of Robert Paterson (1940-1991), a famous London impresario in the 1960s and 1970s and business associate of Jarvis Astaire of Viewsport Ltd., an organisation that presented live UK cinema screenings of major boxing matches from all around the world including the Ali v Bugner fight in 1975. The gloves were gifted by Paterson to the present consignor, a family relation, when he was still a teenager in 1982. Thomas Hauser, Muhammad Ali's biographer, recalls an amusing incident regarding the gloves in Malaysia: ''... the most endearing tale of Muhammad Ali and gloves dates to his 1975 encounter with Joe Bugner in Malaysia. That happening was notable for the pre-fight rules meeting. After going through the normal, interminably boring regulatory minutiae, the local commissioner announced that the fighters' gloves would be held in a local prison until the day of the fight. That got Ali's attention. 'Wait a minute,'' Muhammad interrupted. ''You're putting my gloves in jail? This is awful. How can you do that? How can you put my gloves in jail? They ain't done nothing (pause) yet !'' The fight in Kuala Lumpur was the second occasion that Muhammad Ali and Joe Bugner met in the ring. The first fight on 14th February 1973 had been closely contested with Ali securing a narrow win. After the fight Ali declared that Joe Bugner, the Hungarian born British-Australian boxer and reigning European Heavyweight Champion, could be World Champion if he carried on boxing as well as he did. There was an estimated audience of 22,000 inside the oven-hot Merdeka Stadium, and the fight was watched live on closed circuit television in 60 countries. Ali's purse was $2million, whilst Bugner earned $500,000. The opening five rounds of the bout were characterised by Ali dancing around the ring and peppering Bugner with some sickening jabs in a one sided contest. Bugner was criticised for being negative but was in the shape of his life and upped his performance as the fight progressed. He began to stand his ground and concentrated on landing big body shots. The 10th round was Bugner's best and for the only time in the fight had Ali retreating. However, this only seemed to spur Ali to shift into another gear and in the 13th round the contest came closest to reaching a stopped decision. Bugner's legs buckled as Muhammad pinned him into a corner and unleashed savage hooks to head and body. One piledriver right hand rocked Bugner's head back and had the baying crowd on their feet, eager for a knockout. To his credit the challenger survived and went on to withstand a non-stop assault from 'the greatest' for the final three minutes of the fight. Ali was awarded the fight on a unanimous decision with his opponent remarking ''Well, gents, we tried.'' Ali's victory set up a third fight with Joe Frazier, the famous 'Thrilla in Manilla.' Frazier was sitting at ringside for the Bugner fight and the two had exchanged words before the opening bell. Joe Bugner was asked in an interview after the fight how he thought Ali-Frazier III would go, Bugner said prophetically: ''Muhammad is in for a hell of a fight.''

The Everlast boxing trunks worn by Muhammad Ali during his World Heavyweight Title fight v Jimmy You

Lot #355 (Sale Order 355 of 546)

The Everlast boxing trunks worn by Muhammad Ali during his World Heavyweight Title fight v Jimmy Young on 30th April 1976 in Landover, Maryland, the satin trunks are white with black trim with the maker's label on the front elasticated waistband, reading the ''Everlast, Made in U.S.A., Made Expressly For MUHAMMAD ALI''; sold with a file of authenticity documentation (2) Provenance: The shorts were originally acquired by Eddie Brown, a friend of Muhammad Ali, from Ali's Deer Lake training camp shortly after the fight. They are accompanied by a copy of a signed LOA from Eddie Brown stating that they ''were given to me from Muhammad Ali right after the Jimmy Young fight and can be attributed to that fight.'' In addition there's an accompanying LOA handwritten by Bob Case, former Vice President of the International Boxing Association, who confirms that he knew Eddie Brown and that he was ''best friends'' with Ali's then-cornerman Drew ''Bundini'' Brown. The trunks have been evaluated by industry leaders MEARS (Memorabilia Evaluation And Research Services) who concluded that they are authentic and have supplied their own multiple page LOA. Muhammad Ali won his fight against Jimmy Young through a fifteen round unanimous decision. The three judges awarded the decision to Ali by scores of 72-65, 70-68 and 71-64. The Associated Press reported: ''Ali seemed content to toy in the first four rounds, doing very little fighting. He then began coming on in the fifth round and started landing with power, although he still missed much more than he usually does. Ali's best round seemed to be the ninth, when he went up on his toes and snapped home at least 25 punishing jabs to Young's face. But then he went flat-footed again and, while landing some good rights, he was the target of several hard rights in the final three rounds when Young came on strong. It was the only time in the fight that Young was the actual aggressor and that lack of aggressiveness early on cost him dearly.'' It was around 1972 that boxing equipment manufacturer Everlast began to supply Muhammad Ali with specially made equipment produced exclusively for Ali by the company with this special tagging. The only other instance where the equipment giant had previously administered such exclusive labelling was for boxing legend Joe Louis.

The task of finding a new headquarters was handed to Billy Williams, an RFU committee member and seasoned property professional. Williams was aware of the market garden land that had been auctioned in 1904, and that is was being offered for rent near to Twickenham. In 1907 a purchase of ten acres was made by the RFU for the princely sum of 5,500 12s 6d. The rest is history, as they say, and Twickenham was to assume the mantle of the ''Home of Rugby.''
